Q

How does an initiation reaction start?

A

When UV light breaks down Cl2 to form chlorine free radicals

The C-H requires more energy to break than the Cl-Cl

Q

What is a nucleophile

A

Lone pair electron donors

This is because the halogen atom is more electronegative than carbon atoms and so the C of the C-H bone is delta positive

A
21
Q

Reagent used in elimination reaction

A

KOH

22
Q

What does the OH act as in elimination.

A

Base

23
Q

What does OH act as in a substitution reaction

A

Nucleophile

24
Q

Conditions for KOH or NaOH in elimination

A

Ethanolic, hot

25
Q

Mechanism for elimination reaction

A
26
Q

Ozone formation

A
27
Q

What is the ozone

A

A layer that protects the earths surface from the harmful effects of UV radiation

28
Q

Ozone depletion

A
29
Q

UV and CFCs

A
30
Q

Ozone and chlorine

A
31
Q

What is electronegativity

A

The power of an atom to attract the two electrons in a covalent bond

32
Q

What is an electrophile

A

Lone pair electron acceptors

This is because the C=C double bond is very electron rich die to the electron cloud of the pi bond

33
Q

What is an addition reaction

A

The C=C double bond opens up and an atom or group of atoms joins onto each C of the C=C double bond

During the mechanism, a carbocation is formed. Where more than one carbocation can be formed, the main product will be formed from the more stable carbocation.

34
Q

A

Br2
HBr
H2SO4
H2O

35
Q
